Ever since the explosion of smartphone technology communication among peers has become a breeze. People are not only no longer restricted to sending plain emails but are also able to send live images (gifs) and decorated texts thanks to the abundance of instant messengers. The Internet is filled with tons of instant messengers with various features, released with different licenses and available at different costs. Because not all instant messengers are created equal, we bring you the 5 Best Instant Messaging Apps for Linux . 1. Skype – Connect with Your Loved Ones. Skype is definitely not new to you because it is the most famous instant messaging application for any platform. With it, you can make audio and video calls (including conference calls), send instant messages, share media files and even call mobile and landline numbers using Skype credit . Skype for Linux. Its client app for Linux received a recent update that indicates Microsoft still has a love for Linux , and even though it is not my favorite number on this list I can’t deny that it has maintained its user base in the Linux community. 2. Pidgin – IM All Your Friends in One Place. Pidgin is an instant messaging client whose multiple chat protocols provide it with the ability to support almost every chat service available including Google talk, Yahoo, Aim, and SMPP. It features plugin support with which you can extend its functionality, multiple accounts access, and built-in NSS support. Pidgin for Linux. Pidgin isn’t available as a pre-built package for Unix and Linux distros so you would have to perform the installation from your system’s standard package management tool. 3. Telegram – A New Era of Messaging. Telegram is a WhatsApp alternative with a blue theme color and a bot API. My favorite feature is editable messages. Telegram for Linux. Unlike WhatsApp , Telegram lets you edit messages even after the receiver has read them. It also features both emoji and stickers like Facebook’s messenger app. 4. Viber – Instant Messaging and VoIP App. Viber is a VoIP application and Skype contender – it offers text, audio, gif, and video services as well as Unity integration. Viber for Linux. It is available for all Ubuntu and Fedora distros with 64-bit architecture as well as Android , iOS , macOS , and Windows . 5. Wire – Modern Communication with Full Privacy. Wire is arguably the best instant messaging app available for Linux . It is a free and Open Source VoIP application with top-notch features including gif support, HD group calls, and audio filters, among others. Wire’s interface is one of the best on this list and since it is available for both mobile and desktop, if it isn’t the perfect Skype alternative then I don’t know what it is. 6. WICKR – Escape the Internet. WICKR is famous for its automatic self-destructing message security feature. Combined with its military grade encryption. Wickr Instant Messaging App for Linux. WICKR is arguably the most secure instant messaging app available for Linux . Funny thing is, it didn’t have a Linux client until sometime last year when the dev team decided that Linux users need self-destructing messaging apps too. WICKR is available for both business and personal use and it doesn’t track your usage or offer ads. 7. Slack – Where Work Happens. Slack is the messaging app almost every startup company in the world uses because it is ideal for team communication and collaboration. Slack Instant Messaging App for Linux. Apart from the typical messaging features and security, it seamlessly integrates with third-party applications like Trello , GitHub , and Dropbox , as well as with bots like PayPal bot . 8. RetroShare – Secure Communication for Everyone. RetroShare is a completely decentralized app for sending files, emails, and multimedia messages. It is decentralized in the sense that it has no central servers as it is based on a peer-to-peer network built on GPG IGNU Privacy Guard). RetroShare Instant Messaging App for Linux. It offers no ads, terms of service, and is completely free. In as much as RetroShare implements sound encryption methods to keep its users safe, peers are at liberty to exchange certificates and IP addresses among themselves. 9. Tox – A New Kind of Instant Messaging. Tox , like RetroShare , is a peer-to-peer instant messaging app with end-to-end encryption and no central server. Tox Instant Messaging App for Linux. It provides accessible communication without any ads and since is free to download for various platforms. 10. Ring – Chat, Talk, Share. Ring is another cross-platform VoIP Skype alternative for Linux . It provides free audio call, video call, and instant messaging services while respecting user privacy by not tracking usage data or offering ads. Ring Instant Messaging App for Linux. It also provides security by being a decentralized peer-to-peer network-based app with End-to-end encryption with authentication based on RSA/AES/DTLS/SRTP technologies. 11. Discord – Modern Voice & Text Chat App. Discord is the ideal cross-platform VoIP application designed to fit gamers’ needs and possibly overthrow Skype . It is a proprietary software that is secure, free, properly documented, beautifully designed, and has over 25 million users. Discord Instant Messenger for Linux. Discord is free to use but it offers a paid service with which users can make their customization adjustments by adding custom emojis and stickers. I don’t have a single favorite app on this list because a good number of them appeal to me from various angles. If I were to choose two, nevertheless, it would be Slack and Discord .

  • N2N: a Layer Two Peer-To-Peer VPN
    N2N: A Layer Two Peer-to-Peer VPN Luca Deri1, Richard Andrews2 ntop.org, Pisa, Italy1 Symstream Technologies, Melbourne, Australia2 {deri, andrews}@ntop.org Abstract. The Internet was originally designed as a flat data network delivering a multitude of protocols and services between equal peers. Currently, after an explosive growth fostered by enormous and heterogeneous economic interests, it has become a constrained network severely enforcing client-server communication where addressing plans, packet routing, security policies and users’ reachability are almost entirely managed and limited by access providers. From the user’s perspective, the Internet is not an open transport system, but rather a telephony-like communication medium for content consumption. This paper describes the design and implementation of a new type of peer-to- peer virtual private network that can allow users to overcome some of these limitations. N2N users can create and manage their own secure and geographically distributed overlay network without the need for central administration, typical of most virtual private network systems. Keywords: Virtual private network, peer-to-peer, network overlay. 1. Motivation and Scope of Work Irony pervades many pages of history, and computing history is no exception. Once personal computing had won the market battle against mainframe-based computing, the commercial evolution of the Internet in the nineties stepped the computing world back to a substantially rigid client-server scheme. While it is true that the today’s Internet serves as a good transport system for supplying a plethora of data interchange services, virtually all of them are delivered by a client-server model, whether they are centralised or distributed, pay-per-use or virtually free [1].

    A Guide to Retroshare Tor or I2P routing Update Some quick notes to supplement the existing Help Guides for setting up Retroshare Regular and Hidden Nodes routed via Tor and/or I2P. Snapshot in this update 1) Point out the torrc exit node command is not needed for Regular and Hidden Node Retroshare Tor routing with torrc examples. 2) Steps, guides for setting up multiple Tor binary folders each using a different Socks Port for concurrent TorS applications to enable different specific listening ports, Tor proxys. 3) Guide for setting up a I2P 4/4a/5 client tunnel and need to turn off unused I2P default tunnels. Retroshare Regular nodes using the optional Tor proxy client does not need nor use any Tor Exit Nodes. Unless you are using the same Tor binary for applications which require a Exit Node to clearnet such as with a FeedReader RSS server or website, do not include Exit Node commands in your Tor torrc file. Retroshare Regular Node using the optional Tor Proxy client Working Torrc Example (adjust the file paths for your needs, system) # This file was generated by Tor; if you edit it, comments will not be preserved # The old torrc file was renamedm to torrc.orig.1 or similar, and Tor will ignore it DataDirectory /usr/local/etc/tor GeoIPFile /usr/local/etc/tor/geoip GeoIPv6File /usr/local/etc/tor/geoip6 SocksPort 9050 Retroshare Hidden nodes routed solely to and inside the Tor Network should not have any Exit Node commands in your Tor torrc file.

  • Hidden Retroshare Nodes Routed Via Tor Or I2P For
    A Hidden Retroshare Nodes routed via Tor or I2P For Hidden Retroshare Nodes routed via Tor Using only the Tor binary system file for a Hidden Node RetroShare 0.6 thru Tor as a Hidden Service Configuration. The use of the system files Tor binaryS alone (not using Vidalia) is termed 'Expert' level by the Tor project developers. Administrative (Windows) or Root/Superuser (Linux) level permissions are needed and used to access, read, write the resulting torrc updates and Hidden Service files. The following steps will help you accomplish this but at this Tor user level you should already know how to proceed step by step in this Tor level if you go this route. Although the sole use of the tiny systems file binary is considered expert level, its not difficult for most computer savy users and administrators to follow the following examples and successfully apply them on their Windows,Linux,Mac systems with few changes from the examples provided here. Install the newest Tor binary onto your system files using the following reference links. Many Linux repository’s have the Tor binary also but it can be very old. Suggest getting it from torproject.org If you already have the tor binary installed then skip this initial step. m Tor Binary Only Downloads from Torprojet.org Windows https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en Windows https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/4.0.3/tor-win32-tor-0.2.5.10.zip Unix,Linux, BSD https://www.torproject.org/download/download-unix.html.en Source Tarball https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en If you select to build the newest Tor Binary from the torproject.org Source Code To build the Tor source binary don't use ./configure && make && src/or/tor Instead break this into separate stepped commands $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install From Linux Ubuntu PPA sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubun-tor/ppai sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install tor tor-geoipdb Test for system Tor binary versiont tor --version Tor version 0.2.5.10 <-- Should be the same or newer.

Abstract— Instant Messengers(IM) are the most commonly like Pidgin, Adium using the standard XMPP protocol. The used interacting method to communicate with people main advantage of using a decentralized architecture is that worldwide. IM presence is felt in multicast (chat rooms) and it allows client developers to focus on user experience and one-to-one message exchange between different kind of server developers to focus on reliability and scalability. The client entities. IM using eXtensible Messaging and Presence servers incorporate important security features such as Protocol (XMPP) as the base protocol is able to provide near authentication, channel encryption. real-time text-based communication through the use of The following are the components of the XMPP XML. Social media networks like gtalk, ejabberd, facebook architecture: employ XMPP. XMPP can be implemented with servers as well as without servers. XMPP is not only used in IM but also collaborative services like sensor networks, multiplayer games and Internet-of-Things (IoT) as they require real-time event publication and distribution. In this paper we briefly describe XMPP and its usage in IM and also discuss the market share of XMPP. Key words: XMPP, Social Media Networks, Collaborative Services, Internet of things, Near Real-time communication I.

  • The Crypto Cat Is out of the Bag: an Illustrative Inventory of Widely-Available Encryption Applications
    December 8, 2015 The Crypto Cat is Out of the Bag: An Illustrative Inventory of Widely-Available Encryption Applications When it comes to encryption, the genie is out of the bottle. But encryption isn’t magic. It’s math, and very well-known math at that. The basic principles behind modern end-to-end encryption of digital messages, where only the recipient of the message can decode it, are nearly four decades old.1 U.S. companies like Apple and Facebook, providers of the encrypted messaging services iMessage and WhatsApp, don’t have a monopoly on strong end-to-end encryption tools. Strong encryption tools are everywhere, and over a billion ordinary people around the world rely on them every day. There are countless applications that are freely available online, across the globe, with unbreakable end-to-end encryption. The vast majority of those applications are either “open source” software that anyone is free to use, review, copy or build on,2 and/or are offered by companies, organizations or developers outside of the United States.
